note:  Based on the sculpture Lorenzetto created of the same subject for the Chigi Chapel in Santa Maria del Popolo (Shearman notes that a similar figure also appeared in imagery of Vatican loggie); also at times attributed to Penni; Clayton: "It is therefore proposed that that the Jonah was intended as a model for an unexecuted print" (170)
